''Yes, there is very decided talk of Il new
Market House in the Eighth ward, v said a
gentleman from down that way, whom the
REGISTER met in the corridor, ''but it will
not be run by the city. | guess the AL
hambra Palace Rink Company has about
decided to resolve itself into q Market
Company, fit up the mammoth building
as a market house, and invite the farmers
and citizens to do their buying and selling
there. The company sees about thirty per
cent per annum in it, which is good enough
these days. 1t would be q good scheme
for the city TO buy the building, and insti-
tute a new public market. 1t would add
four or five thousand dollars a year to the
revenues of the town"

eyes, there was ascheme to increase the
police force to thirty men," said a we'll
informed city politician yesterday, "but |
guess the thing is of, now that Bennett is
laid out. The thing was proposed in the
Board of Police Commissioners a while ago,
and Chief Smith said there was no doubt
the force was too small-that the number
of men should be approximately one for
each one thousand of population. That's
all right, and the Board, as | understand
it, appreciated the necessities of the
city, and was favorably disposed.
The thing got to the ears
of the Republican members of Council, and
it was pretty well understood among them
that if all went well at the election some
action would be taken, whether the Board
approved or not. Well, all the world
knows things did not gowell at the election,
and little has been heard of the matter
since, although l believe President Miller
and some of the Board are fayorably in
cliucd, and the thing is still talked over
occasionally at the Board meetings"

Works manages to finish up the work

It will take every cent of $685. 600 to make
things square. Now just follow me. To
start with, $500 will have to 90 to pay
for the Seventeenth street extension. That
isn't a last years contract, to be sure, but
the city will have to foot the bill, all
the same. Then it will take $500 to
nave the extension, as required by the
terms Of sale. North Main street will
have to he finished. Fourteenth street,
from 1Chapline to Wood, paved, and the

81 must acknowledge that it makes a
difference whether we are in or 'out, ,"
said a Republican yesterday. Zone short
year ago we were bowling ourselves hoarse
at the iniquitous and extravagant idea of
paying Barney Gillagan 81 600 for the large
amount of work he did, and amid our
shrill-voiced protests gave it out that if we
had a chance we would lop off a few hun
dred dollars OF the salaries. Now that We
have q chance, we have increased the sala-
ries $4OO, and then chopped the thing in
two, so rs to give two men 81 900 each.
That's a good thing as far as rewarding
your friends goes, but | wonder how the
people look at it,"

"Have you heard of the new racket the
Democrats have started to bother us?"
said a pure-minded Republican, whose
motto is 'Reform," yesterday. mo?
Well, it's this. A draft of a bill making
it unlawful for members of Council to hold
any municipal Office or sell anything to the
city in any way, has gone down to Charles
ton. But we're all right. The bill will
hardly effect the people now in office, and
the far-Off future can take care of itself"

Steel Pen and Quill.

The steel pen is an exceedingly modern
invention. Any person past middle age
can remember when its use became gen.
eral in America Before that time the
Quill pen was universal, and to make or
sharpen it for his pupils was one of the
chief tasks of the schoolmaster. Many
persons still employ this archaic instru-
ment, driving to madness all who are
within hearing of its more narrowing
sound. The utter inability of the present
generation to listen to the scratching of
the quill pen is one of the most startling
evidences of the increase of nervous dis
orders among us. The pretended prefer
ence for it is generally an affectatiOn.
The name of the person who first used
Il quill pen has not been preserved, and
the loss has not been seriously felt. 1t
was probably some monk or ''learned
clerk" of the middle ages who found that
it could usefully supplement the stylus
with which he was Illuminating manu-
script. The quill might have easily been
suggested by the bodkin made of the
bone of bird or other animal trans
mitted from the Romans to the medieval
monks, or by the sharpened reed, also
used by the Romans and still in use
among the Arabs. The Chinese and
Japanese use sort of brush in writing,
and when we'll instructed write rapidly
and with artistic skill.-Sdn Francisco
Chronicle.

toe. and bottom edges of the crust care

knife If the disease has made much
progress, it will be found suppuration has
takcu place and that pus has been formed
between the crust and the interior of the
foot. breaking out in the cleft where the
crus; is thin or at the top of the crust by
the hair: then more thorough treatment
is required. The sheep should at once
be separated from the flock and placed
where il can receive frequent attention.
The crust of the foot should now be cut
away unhesitatingly, so as to fully expose
the diseased parts. These should be
treated with finely powdered blue vitriol
or nuriatic acid applied by convenient
swab. If assesses have formed and
iistulouS openings extend into the foot,
these should he cleaned with a probe and
strong carbolic soap and warm water and
then thoroughly treated with a caustic
that will burn away the diseased parts,
leaving healthy sore, one that will
readily heal, on the principal that lone
fire puts out another burning"

Thoroughly mixed. The foot should
be cleaned and the application made
every second day. Two or three applica-
tons will usually be sufficient. If the
disease does not readily yield to this
treatment it will be well to poultice the
foot with a carrot or other similar poul-
tice once day for a couple of days, the
treatment being continued.
When the disease has continued for
some time fungus growths will form
where the sole or crust is lost. These
must be removed with hot iron, as no
other application will effectually dispose

1t is not that corn is not good for

we hear so much about its deleterious eff
fects, but rather because it is not fed
with discretion.
The ordinary farmer who raises more
than one breed each of horses, cattle,

money; and if he does not raise the best of
